Buccal Midazolam is an alternative treatment to rectal diazepam and works as a relaxant to assist in controlling certain types of seizure. We also offer Epilepsy Awareness and Administration of Rectal Diazepam course.

The Joint Epilepsy Council’s (JEC) guide on training standards for administration of Buccal Midazolam state: 

“Assessment of Learning: 

There are recognised difficulties associated with assessing the knowledge and skills of participants who undergo training in the administration of buccal midazolam. 

During the course, a training provider checks that learning is taking place, supervising the participant in a simulated procedure using a volunteer with water as the medication. Following the course a training provider assesses the participants using the following: Questioning, oral or written Case studies. 

This means National MedicAid as a training provider delivers the theoretical and practical training through simulation and demonstration. Following training, you or another experienced qualified personnel will shadow the trainee and officially sign them as competent when they have administered midazolam in a real situation. The manual we use has been provided by the JEC from the following website: www.jointepilepsycouncil.org.uk.

This course comes with 4.0 hours of CPD. The content of this and all our courses has been independently certified as conforming to universally accepted Continuous Professional Development (CPD) guidelines and come with a Certified CPD Statement as well as a National MedicAid Certificate.
